  hello everyone i have a mk4 golf gti 2.0 on a V reg

my car is using alot of water and there is cream on the oil cap which would indicate that the head gasket has gone but.... the car aint overheating or anything like that it gets up to 90 and stays there and doest go over that and the car still pulls strong ??

i will be getting it looked at possibley monday all being well !!

is there any how-too's on here ?

im in the east midlands

the 2.0 is known for drinking water an oil like petrol but clean the cap see if it comes back as short journeys can do this
